1990–91 Chelsea F.C. season
During the 1990–91 English football season, Chelsea F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.
Season summary
In the 1990-91 season, the league campaign was proven to be a disappointment despite recruiting the club's first million pound players, Dennis Wise and Andy Townsend, as Chelsea finished 11th in the First Division and were knocked out of both cups by lower league opposition. As a result, Campbell was relieved of his duties at the end of the season and was appointed personal assistant to chairman Ken Bates.Final league table
